Hi Roger
I think that if you assemble the crank and rods out of the engine you should be able to thread a 1/2” silver steel bar through all of the little ends. If you can’t then the rods are suspect.
However I doubt the rods themselves will be 20 thou out but the white metalling could have been bored incorrectly.
Sorry this check means you will have to disassemble the engine.
Cheers
Howard
